/in /by

People with Aphasia will have difficulty communicating with others, which will interfere with the learning process. The part that affects a person’s speaking is the left brain. If the left brain is disturbed or damaged, it will make it difficult for individuals to speak. The Whole Brain teaching method teaches a learning method that does not only focus on one part of the brain. It is said that the human brain will work and function better if all parts of the brain are used. This paper examines using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). “The SLR method is a literature review method that identifies, examines, evaluates, and interprets all available research…. In this study, the collection of articles was carried out from Google Scholar, Research Gate, Sinta, DOAJ, and Scopus” (Hotmauli et al., 2024). 23 articles were related or closely related to the article’s keywords: whole brain method, teaching, and learners with Aphasia disorders. Learners with aphasia disorders have damage to the left side; the whole brain method can teach from various aspects of the brain without having to rely on one side only. The whole brain method is a plus point and is needed for learners with this aphasia disorder.

/in /by

This article aims to provide educators with a comprehensive understanding of aphasia, a complex language disorder caused by brain damage. It highlights the history of aphasia, from its early recognition to the pivotal milestones that have been achieved, and the impact of historical studies on modern neuroanatomy and neuropsychology. In addition to providing a historical overview, the article also presents effective language teaching strategies that can be used to enhance language fluency, articulation, and prosody in students with aphasia. These strategies include tailored approaches for specific aphasia subtypes, enabling educators to support students’ academic achievements and communication skills effectively.
